Where is he based lads?

Hey there everyone, I'm looking for a couple of pairs of birmingham rollers preferably in southern Ireland as thats where I'm based. Cheers

Thanks all, the bird is a year old, never seen these little lumps before. One had split and i could see a tiny speck of blood. The birds are just after finishing a treatment called B.S. (not sure if thats the right name, but thats all it says on the pack!!) Its supposed to treat canker and coccidiosis and bacterial infections etc so I would be surprised if its canker. Going to try the iodine treatment. Will try and upload a pic at some stage. Cheers.

Hello, just noticed that one of my whites has little white lumps around the corner of his beak any one got any ideas what it is or a possible treatment? Cheers

Are these birds still available?

Hello everyone, I'm looking to get some good quality rollers over to Ireland, I can arranged to have them picked up. Not looking for that many just a couple of pairs to get started. Regards John

Hello Crookey1965, so how would I do this?

Hello, Can anyone tell me the best way to get birds from the UK to Southern Ireland. I'm hoping to try and buy some birds from private sellers in the UK.

clarkey, not sure if I asked you before but anyway, do you know of anywhere in Eire that I can get good flying rollers?

Hey there everyone, I have some tumblers who decided to nest on the floor of the loft, I saw the built nest with two eggs in it. I noticed the following day that the had picked up the nest, eggs and all and moved it to a spot about two meters away, is that unusual? I kept an eye on the eggs and as one hatched i noticed that one had gone missing. A day or two later I found this egg, cracked open with a near full term chick inside, out in the flight. Would this chick have been dead in the shell and the parents removed it from the nest or whats going on???

Thanks for that. I'll check 'em out. ;D

Hello there, Anyone know where I can buy a couple of pairs of good quality, performing B. Rollers in Ireland? Cheers

Hello, I've just noticed that one of my hens has quite a few feathers missing from the top of her head. This has only happened recently and I thought it may be due to pecking by the other pigeons? Could this be true? and if so is there any cure? Cheers

Hey there, I just got four tumblers myself. They are all old birds. I kept them in for two weeks, feeding them at a set time each evening and using a rattle to indicate feeding time. Reduced their feed the day before I let them out. I then let them out in the evening. Two failed to return that eve but turned up the following afternoon starving. They haven't left since luckily.

Thanks to everyone who posted, great advice. Already contacted a few local fanciers so I'm looking forward to that, unfortunately the local library ain't up to much but I'm gona check out the boglin site. When I log on to this forum how can I quickly get to the replies for my posts? I'm not hectic on the old computer just yet!! : That would be great! Cheers

for SAFETY REASONS! make sure you get it done by a profession electrican, or someone in that field!. Thanks for that, should work out ok there coz I'm a sparky myself! Might put one in. Cheers

Hello everyone, I'm relatively new to pigeons, have a few tumblers at the moment and would like to find out how I would go about getting involved in the racing side, do I need to join a club first and get a clock etc, I'm based in Ireland. Cheers

Hey there, just trying to get set up and have four tumblers at the moment, just wondering what size should a box perch be? Also will they need heat during the winter, (I live in the west of Ireland!) Any answers greatly appreciated!
